Dunno-Lars posted:I would also guess that pellets bounce back... But my knowledge of firearms are also pretty basic. I doubt it would cause them to bounce back, that metal isn't strong enough, they might not all pierce through though. I suppose it also depends on range, you could also toss slug shots in and those'll gently caress the drive right up without a second thought. I am the metalhead that's a sys/net admin, also ex-raver. I work with 2 guys that were ravers, 1 was a happy hardcore kandikid and I could totally tell before hand, those kids were always a little off. Also a couple other guys are metalheads as well, most are cool, 1 dude is someone I would not hang out with outside of work though. MF_James fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Apr 28, 2018 |

Good excuse to use the .30-06

Might wanna leave civilization far away from other people and their property if you are gonna be playing with explosions. What kinda pisses me off is when clients don't respond with confirmation on scheduling. I left emails and voice-mails with no response. Means I am going to have to migrate their email services over a week-day instead of the weekend as it has to be done before next weekend regardless. I am most certainly not going to pull the trigger on something like that without a confirmation.

Drive me nuts with requests to look poo poo up for people. Old orders, etc. "Sorry, I don't keep them from that far back" Why not! They're sooo important! I need a copy of the original! "Why the gently caress didn't you keep it then?"

If you want a ticket to get dusty and die off, make a suggestion that may or may not help then ask "please confirm if this helps." Guarantee it's the last time you'll have to work on it.

So I've always known that the two Directors for my company can be quite rude when it comes down to paying attention during meetings, but I have never seen it this bad... They are finally holding interviews to replace the member of staff in the Sales department who quit before Christmas, which is great news as other departments have been under pressure answering sales calls while trying to do their own work. My office is in the same corridor as our boardroom, but I usually have my door closed and some music playing quietly. I accidentally left the radiator on full last Friday, so I have all the doors and windows open to try and drop the temperature. In the 30 minutes that they have been in the boardroom, they have stopped the interview 6 times to answer phone calls about : Turf deliveries for the garden Horses Wheel refurbishment on a Porsche Horses again Something else I didn't catch as I was on the phone Horses AGAIN Speaking from experience, I can guarantee that the interviewee will be asked to repeat what was missed by whichever Director was out of the room at that time. On top of that, they both have recently installed those Ring movement based cameras - one at his house (which has the turf deliveries and groundworks) and the other at his wife's side business, so every 30 seconds their phones are blasting out a wind chime noise as the app signals the motion detection. They are wondering why none of the previous candidates have taken them up on the job offer - I sure as hell wouldn't have taken the job if they paid that little attention to my interview...

If you're an account contact for customers but you aren't doing much technical work (officespacetwobobs.jpg), I can think of a few ways of getting the right information passed between each party: 1. Pass each email back-and-forth verbatim 2. Introduce the two sides to each other, maybe offer to set up a webex or whatever to talk things through, make sure you're on the call so any commercial stuff can be agreed on 3. Learn enough about what your job is to be able to answer the lower level stuff to make things go smoother Why do I seem to only ever work with people who choose to do number 4, which is to paraphrase everything coming from me or the customer in a way that totally changes the meaning and neither side realises until the wrong thing gets delivered.

 Required date is the date the customer needs the product by. What's the meeting for? Maybe it's because it means 5 different things for 5 different customers?

My coworker just got off the phone with the supply room. I overheard him say that the supply guy must have a box that say "Xerox fuser" because there's no such thing as a "Xerox phaser" and he proceeded to "explain" that a phaser meant that something would be put out of phase. Then he turned to me and said "they think they have some Star Trek poo poo down stairs." I had to show him that Xerox Workstations are also (confusingly) referred to as Xerox Phasers. He has been in this position for five years.

ratbert90 posted:No raises stuff When a place shows you that, you should stick with them only until you stop learning new skills or you don't see any way to acquire another skill that will increase your market value. These places end up in a cycle of new people learning their methods and them leaving just when they get everything automated, they then lose that knowledge and someone else has to build it all up again. Let them burn, that or someone will just be happy with whatever and work there until they die. That will eventually happen on a long enough time scale. If your new duties pay better on the market do the job for a few months then throw out your resume. It will significantly increase your odds of being hired and the amount you will make if you have actual experience doing it (assuming you do want to do it).

I realize I'm probably just being excessively naive but it is starting to irritate me when I get calls from recruiters who clearly haven't even glanced at my resume or the job posting they're calling about. We've got an exciting opportunity for you! It will be a real chance to advance your career! *is two steps down from what I actually do, is night work, or involves maintaining the chicken rear end in a top hat removal machine in Bumfuck, Iowa*

I wear headphones when I work. When I get a recruiter call, I tend to just let them go to voicemail. Every once in a while I will get multiple calls in a row. When that happens I take the headphones off, put them on my desk, put my phone in between them, and answer the call and go back to work. Longest I had someone hang on was 2 minutesish.

I get so many sales calls on both my work line and my personal cell that unless I know the number or I'm expecting the call, it goes to VM. I answer maybe 10% of calls I receive. I've had people/companies/robots call multiple times a week or month and never leave a voice mail. Like, what the hell guys, this is the perfect way to get put on my DND list that never even rings me, let alone gets forwarded to my cell/VM. You want to talk to me? Leave a voicemail!
